MASSAGE COMPETITION

The massage competition criteria was 'make it yours!' Not quite a SMART target, but now that I've done it - It proves that maybe sometimes we can think to much for students and block their potential artistic side.

The ranges of setting-up were very different; from candles, flowers and joss sticks too coloured towels and throws. 

Although I was to busy concentrating on my own client I did glimpse a therapist with her client standing while she checked the clients posture before allowing the client to lay on the massage table. I have high hopes for her becoming a chiropractor  as her specialist subject, rather than a massage therapist - seriously!

At the end of the day I am sure the main points were given for technique not how your work area looked. Even if it may be part of the criteria how many points would you get for that? Then personal presentation,  professionalism and client care!?!!

As an assessor I wonder what the real criteria was?  Make it your own sounds a bit subjective to me. No uniformity or standardisation.  As contestants we'll just have to depend on their expert eyes and observation...

We won't know till 3rd June.

TEXT BOOK

The text book we're using for the Nail Enhancement Technology Course is;
The Encyclopedia of Nails. Jacqueline Jefford  & Ann Swain.
This is a picture of the 2nd edition. You may find a book that has a different cover/picture, but the contents is basically similar. So still get it.
I belive in using libraries to source this book, but you can buy a copy.
